I've just built this system for my nephew. AMD Barton 2600+, 512Meg
Kingmax PC3200 DDR, ATI Radeon 9600 video, Western Gigital Caviar 80
Gig, HDD Liteon CD/RW.

Posts fine, all drives detected.

Trying to install Windows XP. The CD checks the hardware
configuration, loads all the files/drivers and then says that no HDD
is detected. The only option is F3 to exit. Don't get to the screen
to allow me to format and partition the drive.

Any ideas?

I've built quite a few systems and can't remember ever having this
problem. Not running RAID or third party SCSI devices so bypassed the
F6 option.

Any help would be appreciated

Grr Grr - HDD jumper was set to Master - changed to CS (Cable Select)
and all was well. Sorry.
